VJ Faceting Machine

Does anyone have any recent information on the VJ machine? Are they still selling after Mal retired? Their website is fairly limited and hasn't been changed in 6 months.

Also if anyone has used one and has opinions on it I would love to hear.

My mate was just talking to a mate of his who picked up a machine from the little factory at Childers last week. Mal and Jenny have retired but I think their daughter and son-in-law are now running the business. From what I can gather, they are still going (which is good coz I'll need to get some more dops)

Do you have a VJ Lefty?

I went to an orchard today and noticed they had heaps of quartz, limestone fossils and epidote on a bunch of pallets. Got talking to the owners and turns out they're super keen on all things fossicking and one of the owners has a VJ machine. So I also have some new people to go dig with and a good source of information on faceting. Their mineral collection is just superb and includes a 12 inch diameter smokey Quartz gwindel with amethyst sceptres :inlove:

Yep, picked it up from their little factory not long before Mal retired - mine was probably one of the last few that he made himself.

Always good to score a new fossicking spot
